Diary of a Failed Imaginary Friend
Day one
Picture this – me, scrawny, mousey Astrid Lark, in the Court of Imaginary Friendship accused of Life Ruining? On my first day as a fully qualified imaginary friend. Who'd have thunk it?
Lady Imogen banged her gong on the wooden desk and looked down her forever young nose at me. She shook her head and her hair swish-swooshed in slow motion. Then she coughed and said that if I put another foot out of line I'd be banished.
Note to self - Must work harder on my friendships. Maybe I shouldn't have copied off Cassie in class all year. But I never thought my first client would be such hard work. I figured I could just learn on the job with some snotty brat. Turns out I was wrong. Apparently Tally, the rich kid, needed a true friend, real or imaginary. She didn't need me telling her how much her parents hate her and how her mum and dad are only together because of her. She was sick when I told her. All over her posh shoes and coat. And what's worse, she ran away from home after that with only her vomit decorated coat and shoes. Ick!
I feel kind of bad about it, I mean people are probably laughing at her, but I don't get why I'm in court for it. I didn't tell her to run away. I begged her to stay but she sort of tuned me out before I could finish.
As far as I could tell I did the girl a favour. She was always miserable. Maybe a bit of travelling was exactly what she needed. I should be getting a medal not a warning. But I'm not worried. According to my very clever, historian dog, Dubert, no one has been banished from the kingdom for over five hundred years.
Day Two
Got new reality friend today. Made her cry and killed her pet spider. What? I hate spiders. The little brat told her mummy on me. Oh dear. Mummy's and daddy's aren't supposed to know we're really real. They're just supposed to think their children are cute and creative. As if a little nine year old could ever think of anything as clever as an imaginary friend. I also told her that her mum and dad are moving her to a new school next year and she chained herself to a tree in her garden all day.
Poor Dubert will really miss me. I guess I'll kind of miss him too. You know, like you miss a pair of socks when the bathroom tiles are cold.
What? Even imaginary friends need to wee during the night sometimes.
Day Three
My life as a moronic mortal begins. Then again I wasn't exactly a fine example of an imaginary friend, was I? I still think Lady Imogen is being unreasonable. It's not like I killed anyone. I'm sure they'll find Tally soon enough and there's no lasting damage to Bridget, just maybe a lingering aroma. They dragged her off the tree by bedtime but not before the dog had weed on her at least five times. That's nothing compared to my way over the top punishment. Now I'm just a regular girl. Can you imagine? Trainee imaginary friends be warned, you do not want to end up like me with my stupid regular family that she enchanted into adopting me. You should see the rules they slapped in front of me as soon as I walked through the door. I have to go to bed at nine. I'm only allowed to watch one hour of TV a day. I even have to go to school. Could it get any worse?
Day Four
Yes it could. Can someone please send me an imaginary friend? I'm miserable.
"Astrid. Get your behind down these stairs this instant." I think my new mum is a yeti in disguise. She has crazy hair and a yowl that makes the house shake.
Grr. Did you know regular people only sleep for like seven hours a day?
I rolled out of bed and tramped down the stairs, the duvet over my head. I kind of hoped it was all a bad dream but no. Mum tugged at my hair with a brush while I ate my cereal. I could barely concentrate on chewing as she yanked so hard my eyes kept spinning back in my head like table-footballers.
"So it's your first day at school tomorrow," she rudely reminded me. "We need to sort this rat's nest out so I've booked you in for a hair appointment, and then we need borrow a uniform for you from our neighbour's boy, Sean."
"I can't wear a boy's uniform. Why can't we buy a new one?"
Dad coughed and shook out his newspaper. He wasn't much of a talker.
"That's none of your business young lady. Your long gangly legs will fit better in boy's clothes anyway."
"And I better warn the teachers to watch out for you. I can see already you'll be trouble. The lady at the adoption office never said you were such a snotty monster. Who in their right mind would ever have children?"
"I'm not a child," I insisted, biting my tongue just before I announced my previous job.
"You are a child. All awkward and annoying. An unwanted, intruding, ruin everything sort of child." She cut out a knot from my hair with a giant pair of kitchen scissors, leaving one side as short as my ear. "There, can't look any worse," she said, tossing the scissors in the sink. Dad ducked as if flying kitchen utensils was perfectly ordinary on a Saturday morning. Mum stormed out the kitchen, kicking the door on the way. Nice one Lady Imogen, I thought, sticking me with a couple of grown olds who clearly hate kids and have no intention of doing their job.
Oh! I started to realise that when I was an imaginary friend I'd had about as much tact as mum. No wonder I was banished. If only I could banish mu from my life.
Dad flicked the tiny kitchen telly on and I spat out my apple juice in my cereal. Tally was on the telly. My heart thrummed in my chest like an angry guitarist plucking the strings so hard you have to cover your ears.
"A nine year old girl has been missing for three days," announced the news reporter with black hair that looked like it had talcum powder doused on top of it. He sounded very serious. There was a short video showing Tally's mum and dad crying and hugging. Astrid realised she was holding her breath and gasped for air. She must have been wrong. They did seem to love Tally and they weren't arguing like she'd seen on that first day. They were clinging desperately to each other. They looked like much better parents than Astrid's.
"Please can anyone help us." Tally's mum cried into the camera. "All we want is our little girl home in time for her birthday tomorrow."
Birthday tomorrow? Astrid swallowed a lump as big as an inflamed tonsil. What had she done? She had to get Tally home by morning.
Slipping out the house without her mum wouldn't be easy.
"Why don't I wait in the car for you?" Astrid said, smiling as sweetly as she could, "to save time."
"No way. I'm not letting you sit in the car alone. What if you have an accident?"
"I'm not going to drive it."
"I don't mean that sort of accident. I mean a yucky sort of accident."
Ew! "I'm twelve mum. Nearly thirteen. I don't have accidents."
"Nearly a teenager? Even worse, you'll probably scribble all over it and invite all your friends to some wild party."
"I will not," I protested (I don't exactly have any friends. We know how rubbish I am at that. It was useless. Her face was glued in a scowl like I was a permanent bad smell. "I'm not letting you out of my sight." Drat.
"Well I better pop to the loo before we go," I said, you know, just in case."
"Yuck. Go."
I didn't really need the loo but it was the only place I had to think in. I put the lid down and sat on it. Mum was a bit of a clean freak from what I could tell so there were probably only a couple hundred germs rather than thousands. I shivered as I tried to think how I could get out of her sight. And then I realised I was shivering and looked up. The window. It was a downstairs bathroom and it didn't open very far but I reckoned I could slink out. As mum had pointed out I'm very gangly.
"Hurry up Astrid," I heard her yell and bang on the door just as my feet hit concrete. I was out with only a scratch on my arm and there was no time to lose. Of course it would have been better if I'd remembered to put my shoes on before I escaped but footwear was banned in the house. I ran as fast as is possible with tiny pebbles embedding themselves in your skin. I didn't know where I was going to find Tally but all I could think about right now was getting far enough away from Mum to not be found. I had a feeling she wouldn't look far. I didn't expect to see them on the news begging for me to go home at any rate.
After a few hours of snaking through back lanes I figured it was safe to stop for a bit. I stood outside a cosy looking café and stared in. The cakes looked delicious even if the stench of coffee did make me feel a bit sick. There was a telly in the corner and through the steamed up glass I could tell they were talking about Tally. I rubbed at the grime and squinted to read the red text at the bottom of the screen. "A sighting of missing Tally in Little Rockcoach."
Thankfully Tally hadn't ran far. I could understand why. No doubt she'd ditched her sick covered shoes and was suffering the same pebble induced pain as me. But if the police couldn't find her she had to be well hidden. I hadn't known her long, what with me ruining her life in only one day, but I trudged through my brain to see if I could remember anything useful. Moan, moan, moan. Hates friends as they only liked her because her mum and dad are rich. She wouldn't be with them. Wished she had cousins to play with but her auntie and uncle hated children, including her. She had mentioned loving dogs though and always begging for one of her own. Ping!
What a brilliant idea even if I do say so myself. There was a dog's home just outside Little Roackcoach. So I strapped some leaves to my feet with long grass, the pain was just too much to handle now, and I set off through a field. I knew no one would be looking for me, mum and dad would be glad I'd gone, but still I thought it was better not to be spotted.
I could hear little dogs yapping as I got near. They sounded terrified. Like the owners hated dogs as much as mum and dad hated me.
I slipped round the back. The smell made me gag. Weeks and weeks' worth of poo and wee I guessed. It looked like the dogs had been bathed in the stuff.
Snuggling next to the fence, her fingers tangled through the mesh stroking a big dog, was Tally. Her hair, which the other day had been blonde and down to her bum, looked just as matted as the dog's.
"Tally," I whispered tiptoeing to her side.
She looked me up and down. "You! I told you I didn't want an imaginary friend anymore. Go! Away!" She blinked her eyes really tight.
"I'm not an imaginary friend." I touched her shoulder and she leapt up off the floor. The dog didn't stir much.
"You can touch me." Her freckles seemed to be screaming at me, like a warning sign to leave.
"Let's just say I wasn't very good at being an imaginary friend so I got banished. I'm as real as you now."
Tally clawed at her eyes with mucky hands. "I don't believe you."
"Look at my hair." I tugged at the short raggy side. "My new 'mum' did this to me. She hates me. But I see now I was wrong about your mum and dad. They love you and maybe they love each other too."
"What do you mean?"
"I saw them on telly. They were drowning each other in tears, a bit unhygienic if you ask me, and begging for you to come home"
"Oh I didn't think they'd notice I was gone. They're always so busy and when I want anything they say no."
"What do you ask for?"
"A pet mostly. Or a sister."
"And you got stuck with the worst imaginary friend ever instead?"
"You don't seem all that bad," she said, relaxing back down beside the dog.
"Thanks," I said, blushing at the first vaguely nice thing anyone had ever said about me. "But your mum and dad are better. I'll take you home to them."
Tally wiped a tear from her pink cheek. "I do want to go home but I don't want to leave these dogs.
"You don't have too darling." We both jumped at a woman's voice behind us.
"Mum," Tally said jumping into her arms like she had rockets on her feet. "But how did you find me?"
"We followed your friend," her dad wrapped his arm around Tally and her mum and nodded down at me.
"Tally had drawn pictures of a girl just like you." I couldn't believe it. "We found them in her room. At first we thought you must just be one of those made up friend things but then when I saw you with that bright red hair and purple eyes I knew it was you."
"Yes and we want to thank you for finding Tally. What can we give you as a reward? Absolutely anything." Her mum crouched down next to me and she smelled of Rose and orange. It was the kind of smell that made you want to hug her. Her smile helped too of course. It was like a giant zip of happiness from ear to ear.
I thought about what I could ask for. New parents? To go back to being an imaginary friend? But I didn't deserve happiness after what I'd done to Tally. Well not for a while anyway. I'm not going to punish myself forever, am I? But I do know someone who deserves to be happy. I cleared my throat and bopped up and down a bit hoping they would say yes.
"What I really, really want is for Tally to be happy. She'd love to take hoe all these dogs. Oh and to have a sister too."
Her mum hugged me and Tally together and it was a bit squishy but I sort of liked it. It made me forget about the pain in my feet. "Tally is lucky to have a friend like you."
I gulped. If only she knew the truth that the whole thing was my fault she wouldn't be so kind.
"We were going to get you a dog for your birthday tomorrow but if you'd rather help these ones then I don't see why not."
"But the sister thing might be a problem."
Day Five
"Happy birthday Tally," I said, waking up in the camp bed in her room. I scrubbed my eyes still not able to believe that they'd let me sleep the night. I knew today I would have to go home though. The thought of leaving Tally made me sad but at least I'd put things right.
"She jumped down onto my bed and one of her new little doggy friends followed her. It slobbered all over my face but I didn't mind too much.
After a delicious birthday breakfast there was a knock on the door. A trickle of worry rumbled through my insides.
"Get in the car, Astrid!" I heard my mum's voice echo down the corridor. "I saw you on the news. I know you're here."
Tally slid off her chair and ran to her mum's side. "Why is Auntie Ann here? She's terrifying. I don't want her at my birthday."
"My mum is your auntie?" I asked, no longer able to control the amount my mouth hung open.
"What's going on Ann?" Tally's dad asked standing between me and her.
"That disgusting brat is my child. Don't ask."
"She can't be," Tally's mum's said, her face white.
"Believe me I wish it was a misunderstanding but I've got the paperwork. I knew children ruined everything and she's proof."
Tally's mum slammed her teacup on the table so hard it spilled everywhere. "Get out now Ann before I chuck you out."
"Not without that brat." She folded her arms.
"She is not a brat and you are not going anywhere near her. Go!"
Mum put her hands on hips and left without much of a fight. I bet she was smiling really.
"And tell my brother he can have his job back," said Tally's dad. "He needs somewhere he can go to escape from you." So that was why dad was so quiet.
"There you go Astrid, dear. Your wish for Tally to have a sister has come true too."
I squealed and jumped into her arms.
Then I felt all wobbly like a paused screen. I was fading. Like I was an imaginary friend.
Haley Tomlinson has a perfect life. She is beyond rich...

It's Monday, time for another business post. Probably most of you have some trouble getting out of bed on a Monday, and it's not only getting out of bed, but it's also getting motivated to do something at all. It doesn't matter if you're a student, an employee or your own boss, everybody has motivation problems on Mondays. That's why I want to share some tips with you today; that'll help you to increase your motivation on Mondays. I hope they'll help you, and if you have other tips, please don't hesitate to let me know!
Prepare and schedule your Monday ahead
It's always a good idea to prepare the upcoming day or week because you're more relaxed when you know what's waiting for you the next day. When you schedule your Monday ahead, you'll know where to start and what to do. Not scheduling the day ahead means you'll have to find the motivation to start somewhere first because a lot of tasks will pop up in your head and it's always more difficult to start when you don't know where to start! Does it make sense? I think you know, what I'm trying to say. 🙂
Plan something nice for your Monday evening
Even when you prepared your Monday and week ahead, there might be some tasks you really don't want to do. Plan something nice for the evening, so you have something to look forward to. It'll make your day go by faster. And isn't it better to think about nice plans for the evening than a Monday that won't go by and all its tasks?
Go to bed early on Sunday
You don't want to be tired on Monday morning, so go to bed early on Sunday. This way you'll feel well rested and have fewer problems to get out of bed in the morning. Additionally, a long and good sleep will give you a lot of energy for the day. Even when you want to enjoy your Sunday as long as possible, try to go to bed early and make your Monday less manic 😉

What is psychic art? In psychic medium readings, psychic art is used as a part of mediumship. Some mediums consider themselves as spiritual artists. During the reading session, they will sketch the face of the spirit they are communicating with – the portrait is seen as proof of the subsistence after death. Each psychic medium works differently; some will deliver the message and do the drawing simultaneously, while others will draw first then interpret the meaning.
Psychic art can be expressed in various ways, depending on the spiritual artist. Apart from sketching the portrait of the deceased, psychic art is often used as means to connect with Spirit Guides or send messages from the spirit world. According to research about psychic art of 5cénula Multimedia Arts Organization, this spiritual method works as similar as the automatic writing. It means that spiritual medium artists will allow their hands to be guided. With psychic art readings, the key is the message and outcome displayed through the artwork, not the look.
However, not all psychic artists are mediums. If you have any chance visiting psychic forums, you'll see the majority of spiritual artists will work with psychic mediums. While the medium does the channeling, the spiritual artist also performs their ability – drawing the portrait. The information combined later can not only prove the survival of spirits living in the afterlife, but also shed light into the recipient's problems, leading them to a bright, blissful path.
Connection of Art and Spirituality
You may not realize it, but everyone is creative in their own way and creativity is a part of spiritual practice. Artists are individuals who always expand their inspiration and imagination. So, it's obviously that almost all artists are spiritual.
Between art and spirituality, is there any relation? In fact, there seems to be many reasons showing the relationship between these two elements. 5cénula Multimedia Arts Organization claims that art is the consequence of creativity, and creativity has a spiritual nature. To put it simply, art is seen as one of spiritual activities. Through art, we can understand the sense of existence, penetrate the deepest of our minds, and figure out our past. In this case, the spiritual artist will become a mediator assisting us, the receiver, to approach our clarity.
These days, spirituality is getting a more essential role in the mental psychic art.
Spiritual development with spiritual portraits
A spiritual medium is the person enabling to sketch the face of the dead's spirits, as mentioned earlier. At the same time, they still can deliver either written or verbal message which they got from spirits to the recipients. The drawing is the evidence revealing the life of spirits after death – this method is called Spirit Portraits and currently used in psychic medium readings.
The purpose of Spirit Portraits is to let the living people know that the mind of spirits is conscious. If you want to have a spiritual conversation with your loved ones, contact 5cénula Multimedia Arts Organization. We can help you connect to the spirit you desire to meet. Additionally, we also give genuine guidance and foresight steering you towards a better direction, without gloomy thoughts and problems.

Everyone knows that in order to have a successful business, it's important to employ good marketing strategies. While there are many ways to market your products, email marketing is a great way to utilize the internet and reach an unlimited target market. Read on to discover ways to use email marketing in your business.
Before using email marketing, create a test email and send it to a friend or family member. Your loved one can see how the email looks and give you feedback. This way, if any changes need to be made, you can do it before sending the emails out to customers.
When emailing your customers, an excellent suggestion is to follow up with lower prices. For example, you could link a phrase that says, "Grab it," onto the email. In addition, the end of this email could include a phrase that says, "Become a member in order to have lower prices on our products."
Always seek permission before sending marketing emails to potential customers. Sending unsolicited emails will quickly have you labeled a spammer. Getting permission to send your messages doesn't have to be hard; offer something valuable to your customers in exchange for the ability to email them, such as a discount, coupon, or other sign-up incentive.
Don't include the use of newsletters in your email marketing campaign. You can send the people on your opt-in list relevant emails about particular topics instead. You will attract more people when they know that they will only be receiving information that they are interested in, and that they will not have to sift through an entire newsletter to get it.
Find out who your competitors are and sign up to their emails. You will be able to see what content, they are sending to their subscribers and figure out what aspects to use and which to stay away from. Just be sure not to steal their content, as this could constitute plagiarism.
Make responding promptly to emails your top priority. If a potential customer reaches out to you through email, you ought to do everything you can to reply to them within one day. Waiting longer may cost you the customer, and they may mention the lack of response to others.
You should get in touch with your subscribers at certain intervals and confirm with them that they are still interested in receiving emails from you. Most companies do this every nine months so that they can be sure that they are not being seen as an annoyance. This will also guarantee that the people on your email list have genuine interest and are not just taking up space.
Use words that are appropriate to the industry you are focusing on in your marketing materials. For example, if you are writing marketing materials for new technological items, use words such as "new," "advanced" or "state-of-the-art" that are commonly used in that industry. Using the right words will help increase your products' appeal to your customers.
There are few things more detrimental to a website or business than being accused of spamming, so take every precaution to protect your integrity by adding a confirmation step to your email list, opt-in procedure. This means that visitors who subscribe to your email list should automatically and immediately receive an email from your company asking them to confirm their subscription. Place two links in the email, one to confirm the subscription and one to refute the subscription. This will provide you with proof that you're not a spammer while protecting your readers, giving them confidence in the fact that you respect their wishes.
In order to build your business and connect with your customers, a good email marketing strategy might just be your best choice. Follow the advice in this article to create attention grabbing emails that your customers are sure to find relevant and informative.

JMAC - Melbourne's Premiere Vendor Advocates
Our Strategies Will Maximise Sell Price:
Leave Your Details & We'll Call You Back
Let us relieve the burden of finding a property to lease.
Are you time poor? Are you running out of time to find a rental? Are you worried you won't get your application in on time, or be last in a long queue?
Finding a rental is time-consuming, they are in demand and stock of rentals are low in most areas.
You have to be in early and get that application off as soon as possible. I doubt if agents do reference checks on all applicants, for them it is also time-consuming. If a couple or individual tick the boxes, their job is done, why would they look further, time is money in all occupations.
Let JMAC take the hassle out of running around aimlessly looking for a rental. All we need is a brief, a budget and all your worries are over.
As advocates we have relationships with a network of agents, this allows us access to properties outside inspection times. Your chance of acceptance is also increased as we pre-qualify our clients.
We can look at more properties in one day while you are at work, or taking care of the kids. Our efficiencies of scale also make placement advantageous due to our network of agents.
We will give you feedback as to the property most appropriate to your brief. If you like we can video the property so you get the complete picture. It is up to you then, whether you inspect or not. However, the most important piece of paper will be in the hands of the Real Estate Agent; "the application form". You will be front and centre when references are checked. It may take a few applications before you are selected.
There is no rhyme nor reason as to who is chosen if all fit the criteria of the Estate Agent. However with our pre – screening we believe you have an edge.
Price is dependant as to how long it takes to get you into a property. Some people have time on their hands, that doesn't mean they get charged more, it is purely the amount of time we take to satisfy your needs.
Prices start from $500

Moerdijk redux
08 December 2011 - The Law of the Land
This blog has been commenting on a particular ferocious fire that consumed chemical packaging company Chemie-Pack on January 5 2011
. The aftermath of this disaster (nobody was hurt though) proved just as exhilarating as the initial fireworks. The company went bankrupt but not before a lot of quarrelling with regards to the damage to the environment and clean-up costs. And now the public prosecutor has stepped in.
We know what caused the fire. An employee was tasked with the job of transferring a resin from one container to another with the aid of a pneumatic pump (
source: NOS
). The day was cold, the pump refused to work and the employee decided to defrost it with a gas burner. The pump caught fire.
The employee was experienced (13 years on the job), survived the first round of job redundancies and kept his mouth shut until finally confessing to the police after multiple interrogations. And guess who stands trial as of this week? Not the employee who was granted immunity in exchange for his confession but three members of the former senior management (
). In addition to procedural offences they are charged with
(!). According to the public prosecutor the employee is not to blame because his action were inspired by company culture.
Regardless of the outcome of this trial (this blog will keep you posted) micromanagers around the country must feel vindicated. Of course ordinary employees are nothing but dumb zombies incapable of original thought and (safe) creative solutions. As a micromanager you cannot possibly transfer any responsibility and you have to well.. huh micromanage them. Dumb Chemie-Pack management.

"Few parts of Italy, if any, are reckoned to be more delightful than the seacoast between Reggio and Gaeta," the Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio wrote in his 14th century book "Decameron."
Six hundred years later, Boccaccio's words about that area — known as the Amalfi Coast — still hold true. For proof, just look at this villa, Torre Di Civita, which recently hit the market with Sotheby's International Real Estate for $54 million.
Is it possible to imagine a more charming estate than this one? A former monastery, the home was reportedly once owned by a Neapolitan prince, and later gifted to a bride by her mother in the 1950's.
Since then, the home, which spans 10,387 square feet, has been totally updated and now features brand new gym facilities and a swimming pool. Of course, there are still many historical details left, including the 1,000-year-old watchtower that serves as the supremely funky master suite.
The estate also has three additional guesthouses, vineyards, orchards, and vegetable gardens. And it's all perched upon four acres of land, situated on a mountainside that offers incredible views from all sides.
Certainly, the place is fit for a prince — or more likely, a Russian billionaire.

LONDON — The Lloyds Banking Group reported on Tuesday that third-quarter pretax profit fell 22 percent, to £644 million, from the period a year earlier, and the bank said it was unlikely to meet its financial goals by the end of 2014.
The bank said it lost £3.9 billion ($6.3 billion) in the nine months ended Sept. 30. That compares with a £1.9 billion profit in the period a year earlier.
Lloyds, in which the British government holds a 40 percent stake as a result of a £20 billion bailout in 2008, said the loss was the result of a £3.2 billion charge linked to the improper sale of personal insurance policies to bank customers earlier in 2011.
A number of banks, including Lloyds and HSBC, have been fined for selling insurance to customers that did not pay out because of exclusions in the policy terms and conditions. Other clients were not aware they had bought the policies.
Last week, the Lloyds chief executive, António Horta-Osório, 47, announced he was taking a leave of absence for several weeks because of exhaustion. Tim Tookey, the bank's finance director, is serving as interim chief executive until Mr. Horta-Osório returns.
The bank has been shedding assets as it attempts to reduce its predominantly retail banking operations. Lloyds said it had cut noncore assets by £11 billion in the third quarter, bringing its total reduction to £42 billion this year.
The economic effect of Europe's sovereign debt crisis, however, will make it difficult for Lloyds to meet its financial goals, the company said.
"Although further opportunities for improving margins and profitability may partially mitigate these economic impacts if the current weaker economic conditions persist, the attainment of some of our medium-term financial targets, principally with regard to income related metrics, may be delayed to beyond 2014," the bank said in a statement.
Despite the bad economic climate, the markets reacted positively to the announcement. In early afternoon trading in London, shares of Lloyds had risen 8.2 percent.
Uncertainty over the British economy, which grew 0.5 percent in the third quarter, is a principal reason for the almost two-thirds drop in the bank's share price in 2011. The bank is the country's largest mortgage lender, and relies on Britain for 90 percent of its revenue.
Since 2008, Lloyds has announced 42,000 job cuts and departed international markets as it has refocused on its home customers.
The bank said its exposure to Europe's debt-ridden countries, including Italy, Greece, and Spain, rose to £179 million at the end of September from £156 million at the end of June. Debt exposure to all European countries fell slightly over the same period, to £3.2 billion.
The Royal Bank of Scotland reported last week that operating profit fell 63 percent, to £267 million, in the three months ended Sept. 30, as volatility in European financial markets continued to weigh on its investment banking operations.
Other European banks, including Barclays and Deutsche Bank, have also announced reductions in investment banking activity as a result of the Continent's sovereign debt crisis.

The Republican wave election of 2014 was the result of voter dissatisfaction on a variety of fronts. As in 2006, when voters elected Democrats on the strength of frustration with the Iraq War, foreign policy was a major part of the sixth-year rebuke to President Barack Obama. Tension in the U.S.-Israel relationship–crystallized in the "chickensh*t" controversy the week before the election–may have cost Democrats at least one U.S. House seat.
For example, former GOP congressman Bob Dold defeated freshman Democrat incumbent Brad Schneider in the 10th district of Illinois, one of the most pro-Israel districts in the country–and one that had been redrawn by state Democrats in 2011 to ensure that a Republican would not win the seat again. Polls showed Schneider ahead with a few weeks to go, then even as the election neared–but none forecast the significant Dold victory.
The controversy that erupted when unnamed senior Obama administration official referred to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as "chickensh*t" may have contributed to that late surge. "Israel is salient in people's minds, given the demographic in the district. The proximity of the comment and the flareup in relation to the election just brought that to the fore that much more," said local pro-Israel activist Oren Dekalo.
"Despite having a Jewish incumbent [in Schneider], there's a lot of dissatisfaction with how our representative stood up for Israel, or rather failed to stand up for Israel," Dekalo added.
Dold himself said that the Israel controversy was merely part of a larger foreign policy crisis. "I'm not sure that the 'chickensh*t' controversy was, in and of itself, a direct cause…there were a number of things as you look at the U.S.-Israel relationship.
In Virginia, where the Senate race remains surprisingly too-close-to-call, foreign policy also played a factor in Republican Ed Gillespie's comeback against incumbent Democrat Mark Warner. Conservative War Chest–the only outside group, apparently, targeting the race–released an ad (below) that focused on foreign policy, reminding voters in the defense-heavy state of Obama's foreign policy crises, from Benghazi to Jerusalem:

Okay, you're tired of pictures of snow by now. Too bad. I'm going to show you a few more.
Why? Because I didn't do it earlier, that's why!
These were all taken on Saturday the 23rd, while the snow was still coming down. By the time it was done and the sun came out Sunday morning, we had somewhere between 26 – 30 inches. Nobody records an official accumulation here in LaVale, so I'm just estimating based on how far it came up on my leg when I stood beside a plowed section.
It was perfect weather, actually. Cold enough that the snow was light and fluffy, but not so bitter that being outside was dangerous. (That is, less risk of frostbite, lungs freezing, heart attack from shoveling, etc.) On Monday, I actually saw a guy digging his car out of a massive pile of snow wearing only jeans and boots. He'd taken off his jacket and shirt and hung them on a nearby road sign.
But I'm not really here to talk about snow, specifically. My topic today is pictures.
And no, I don't mean the photos I'm including here (though they are rather fun). I'm talking about the illustrations God gives us in the temporal, physical world to picture eternal spiritual realities. The whole world is a picture book given by the Father to his children. If we'll sit in his lap and listen, he'll tell us what they're all about.
For instance: while clearing two feet of snow off the front porch Saturday morning, I meditated on a phrase from Isaiah 1:18, Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.
Yea, verily, snow is white. I can think of nothing whiter! Matter of fact, when in full sun, it's so white it can damage your eyes– snow blindness is a very real thing. The brilliance is not so impressive, though, unless the sun reflects off it. That is, the power is in the sun, not the snow.
We usually say the opposite of white is black. I learned in school that white light is the combination of all colors (think how a prism breaks down white light into a rainbow) whereas black is the absence of color. Opposites, right? All color v. no color? But in Isaiah 1:18, the opposite of white is scarlet. Blood-red, because sin is a bloody scourge we can't escape.
The snow covers everything and makes it clean and white. Very white. And at present, very well covered! God went to great lengths (depths?) to make his point this past weekend.
Funny thing about white, though. It doesn't stay pure for long. If you live a temperate region, you know how quickly the pristine snow will degrade, passing through the stages of brown sugar to ash gray to coal black to gritty slush. Truly, a fresh snowfall is a brief and precious thing.
When God covers our bloody sin with His snowy-white redemption, it's a precious thing as well. But we get dirty right away, too, for how long can you go without sinning again? A few minutes, a few seconds? Just when we're fresh and new, a prideful thought, a lustful impulse, a resentful response splashes its dirt across the surface, and the white is pure no more.
On the other hand, our redemption is eternal. One day, the dirty temporal will melt away, and the new creation beneath will remain, perfect and pure as God made it.
The ideal winter (in my opinion) is one in which, from late fall until early spring, the temperature never goes above freezing, and we get a couple of inches of snow every day or two. That way there's no mud, no slush, and everything's always clean and white all winter long. In the spiritual parallel, we need to be made clean on a regular basis through frequently bathing in the word of God (Ephesians 5:26).
But it's not winter forever. In the spring, everything changes. The old things pass away (like snow and ice) and all things become new. A sagging snowman looks a bit sad, but he's got to go before the grass can get green.
Indeed, God provides another marvelous picture in the changing seasons.
Your experience with the seasons depends on what part of the world you happen to stand on. While I dug my car out of the snow last weekend, my friend in Tasmania (waving hi to Paula!) enjoyed a warm mid-summer day. When my sister (hello to Holly!) lived in San Francisco, she said the biggest difference between summer and winter was the amount of rain that fell. People in equatorial regions often don't see much change in the seasons at all. Nevertheless, God is the same everywhere, and his truth is universal. We merely see it from different vantage points.
So what am I saying? I'm not sure. I'm just enjoying the pictures, and I hope you do too.

I've just now gotten a spare moment to go downloading the Eclipse 3.1.2 to update my current 3.1.1. Upgrading is time-consuming, so I've delayed it. While getting to the download, I stumbled upon this a link explaining how to upgrade using the automatic updates!
I thought the automatic update should have been able to get it, but it just never showed up, so I figured I needed to do the install by hand. The update is much nicer.

BEIJING — "I am not a man of iron. I am a man of passion, of flesh and blood." --Hu Yaobang
What triggered China's long spring of turmoil was a medical event that no one could have predicted--a malfunction in the circulatory system of a diminutive, embittered and lonely 73-year-old man.
On Saturday, April 8, during a meeting of the Communist Party Politburo, Hu Yaobang, the one-time general secretary of the party, had a severe heart attack. He died a week later.
Hu was not just some ordinary former leader. His long career--and his fall from grace--had made him the symbol of the frustrations of trying to engineer political change in China from the top. In the eyes of many Chinese intellectuals, Hu had been a victim of the continuing resistance to political liberalization among the party's old guard.

Gwyneth Paltrow Worried About Catherine Zeta-Jones' Lifestyle Brand?
Is Gwyneth Paltrow worried about Catherine Zeta-Jones launching her own lifestyle brand because she thinks it will overshadow her company Goop? That's the claim in one of this week's new tabloids, but Gossip Cop has the truth.
It was announced last month that Zeta-Jones will be starting her own lifestyle website aimed at women, similar to Paltrow's company Goop. Now, the National Enquirer is claiming Paltrow is in a panic about the oncoming competition. A supposed "source" tells the magazine in very unnatural language, "God help poor Gwynny! Catherine's an international superstar, who's not only classy and super-smart with impeccable taste, but women actually find her relatable." The outlet's seemingly nonexistent insider continues, "No question: Zeta-Jones will prove to be a crushing competitor for Gwyneth's Goop."
But Gossip Cop checked in with a mutual pal of ours and Paltrow, who exclusively assures us she isn't upset or panicking about the fellow actress launching her own lifestyle website. In fact, there are many other female celebrities with lifestyle brands, including Jessica Alba, Tori Spelling, Lauren Conrad and Zooey Deschanel, and they all continue to be successful despite the competition. Regardless, we're told Paltrow simply isn't disturbed by Zeta-Jones getting in on the action. A rep for the actress also tells Gossip Cop the claim is "completely false."
Unfortunately, Gossip Cop has repeatedly called out the Enquirer for publishing bogus stories about both actresses, so this latest fabrication combining the two isn't entirely surprising. We previously busted the magazine after it wrongly alleged Paltrow cheated on boyfriend Brad Falchuk with actor James Badge Dale. Gossip Cop also debunked the publication's false report about Zeta-Jones and husband Michael Douglas fighting at the U.S. Open. There was no truth to either of those articles, and this latest one is equally fictitious.

Comverse and Vodacom Bring Visual Voicemail to the South African Mobile Phone Market(May 11, 2010)
WAKEFIELD, Mass., May 11, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vodacom, South Africa's leading mobile operator with 25 million subscribers, has launched the nation's first visual voicemail service, powered by Comverse and available to iPhone users.
Visual voicemail makes voicemail more convenient and attractive for users, who no longer need to dial in for their messages. Instead, a glance at the phone's inbox shows all relevant information about a message, such as date, time, sender and length. The user then clicks on any message to hear it and can listen to messages in any order.
By using visual voicemail, recipients retrieve voice messages quicker and are more likely to return calls. Callers also are encouraged to leave more messages because they realize their messages tend to be heard immediately. With more messages being deposited and more calls returned, operators maximize the revenue potential of visual voicemail.
"Being the first in the country to launch visual voicemail underscores Vodacom's standing as an innovation leader," said Dror Bin, President of Global Sales at Comverse, the world's leading supplier of software and systems enabling value-added messaging and content services, converged billing and active customer management, and IP communications.
"With this service launch in South Africa, visual voicemail has now expanded its presence and popularity to key regions around the world," Bin said. "We are proud of Comverse's leading role in making visual voicemail the global next-generation voicemail standard."
With more than two thirds of commercial launches worldwide, Comverse is the visual voicemail market leader. Comverse Visual Voicemail is part of the Comverse HUB Value-Added Services, which spans voice, messaging, mobile Internet and mobile advertising. Comverse HUB is a synergistic framework that enables service providers to maximize their business performance and augment their position in the market.
About Vodacom
Vodacom is a leading African communications group providing mobile communications and related services to more than 25 million customers. Its mobile network covers a total population of approximately 182 million people across five countries: South Africa, Tanzania, the DRC, Lesotho and Mozambique.
